Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention 1 Field of invention (please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) The present invention relates to an available battery-driven electronic device with wireless communication functions based on the Bluetooth standard, for example. Device, and a method for controlling the operation of the electronic device, and in particular, an electronic device capable of substantially reducing dissipated power related to data access and a method for controlling the operation of the electronic device. 2 · Description of related technologies In recent years, many technologies have been developed to eliminate clumsy connection devices through wireless interfaces, on the one hand, information processing devices such as personal computers, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) and digital cameras, and on the other hand, The peripheral devices of the printer pass the data through the wireless interface. This may increase the intimacy of the user. Furthermore, the information processing devices are also connected together via a wireless interface, so that data transfer and data sharing can be achieved. Recently, the development of an external memory device has also been actively carried out. The device has a so-called wireless communication function to allow data to enter and exit an information processing device through this interface. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economics Incidentally, the existing external memory device with wireless communication function was originally considered to be installed in a room, and its operating power was obtained from a commercial power supply through an AC adapter . I have indeed taken various measures to save power during the standby time, but so far, I have not taken any significant effective measures when accessing data. Furthermore, there is no urgent need to do so. On the other hand, for example, the recording medium loaded into a digital camera has been made to have a larger capacity, and in this case, it is unavoidable that the paper sizes must comply with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm). ) -4-583535 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (2) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Such as the bulky operation of replacing the recording medium in order to store a lot of data. Therefore, for example, there is an increasing demand for a memory device suitable for carrying around, that is, a battery-powered memory device equipped with a wireless communication function. In such a battery-powered memory device, the power saving of the battery is an important matter, and it is preferable to fully consider the power saving effect in data access. Summary of the Invention I have come to invent this invention in view of these circumstances, and a specific embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device that can reduce the power dissipation involved in data access, and a method of controlling the operation of the electronic device. The Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has printed an aspect of the present invention to provide an electronic device. The electronic device includes a first memory that can store data, and a second memory that temporarily stores the first memory. Data in order to consume less power than the first memory; and a control unit configured to write the data stored in the second memory into the first memory, and when there is not enough to exist there When the received data is allowed to be written into the available area of the second memory, the second memory is deleted and the received data is written into the second memory. In the electronic device of the present invention, the so-called cache memory system is not only used to reduce the response time, but also used to save power. When an individual write request is generated, the data is written only to the cache memory without driving the hard drive, etc. By doing so, it is possible to achieve power saving during data access. In another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device with a sleep function has been provided to switch to this paper size when the paper is not accessed for more than a predetermined period of time. Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) ) 583535 A7 B7 5. Description of the invention (3) Power saving state, the electronic device includes a first memory, which can store data; a second memory, which temporarily stores data of the first memory so as to compare with the first memory Memory consumes less power; and a control unit 'when there is any area in the second memory that can be used to write the received data, its structure constitutes to receive the received data when the operation of the sleep function is continued. Data is written into the second memory. In the electronic device of the present invention, the condition for recovering from the sleep mode is not set to when a simple access request is generated, but is set more strictly to when it is necessary to drive a hard disk drive, etc., which occurs when The condition when the basic cache is not processed. By doing so, it is possible to achieve power savings during data access.
